Encountered rugged travel between the lowest tarn at Harvey Pass down to Bourgeau Lake.

Some walking was required and two wind loaded slopes were crossed. The slopes did not react, but weren't confidence inspiring.

There was evidence of a snowshoer swimming up/across these slopes, which didn't look fun at all.

The descent down the Bourgeau Lake trail was better than expected, though we opted to walk the last ~1.5km to the highway to save the skis. Would be fine to skin up.

Cold temperatures in the morning, with a noticeable (and welcome!) increase in temperature around 2:30pm. Almost no wind all day, but stiff breezes at ridge tops (2400m).
